Safety Information

Always read and understand this manual before operating the pump. Failure to follow instructions can result in serious injury or property damage.

• Ensure the pump is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.
• Operate the pump in a well-ventilated area to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Keep children and pets away from the operating pump.
• Do not refuel while the engine is running or hot.
• Always check the oil level before each use. The integrated oil alert system will stop the engine if oil levels are too low, but regular checks are crucial.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection.
• Do not pump flammable liquids.
• Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

Setup

1. Attaching Connections

The pump comes with necessary fittings for the inlet and outlet. Securely attach the provided connectors to the pump's suction and discharge ports. Ensure a tight seal to prevent air leaks, which can affect priming and performance.

2. Fuel and Oil Filling

Before starting, fill the engine with appropriate 4-stroke engine oil and the fuel tank with unleaded gasoline (95 octane or higher). Refer to the engine's oil dipstick for correct oil level. Do not overfill.

3. Priming the Pump

As a self-priming pump, the SR40 typically requires the pump casing to be filled with water before the first start or if it has run dry. Remove the priming cap on top of the pump casing and fill it with water until full. Replace the cap securely.

4. Suction Hose Installation

Connect the suction hose to the inlet port. Ensure the end of the suction hose is equipped with a filter to prevent debris from entering the pump. Position the filter end in the water source, ensuring it is fully submerged and clear of the bottom to avoid drawing in sediment.

Operating Instructions

1. Starting the Engine

Ensure the fuel valve is open and the engine switch is in the "ON" position. If the engine is cold, engage the choke. Pull the recoil starter handle firmly until the engine starts. Once started, gradually disengage the choke.

2. Pumping Water

Once the engine is running smoothly, the pump will begin to draw water. Monitor the water flow and ensure the suction hose remains submerged. Adjust the engine speed as needed for the desired flow rate.

3. Stopping the Engine

To stop the engine, move the engine switch to the "OFF" position and close the fuel valve.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your DAEWOO SR40 water pump.

• Engine Oil: Check oil level before each use. Change oil after the first 20 hours of operation, then every 50 hours or annually.
• Air Filter: Clean the air filter every 25 hours or more frequently in dusty conditions. Replace if damaged.
• Spark Plug: Inspect the spark plug every 100 hours. Clean or replace as necessary.
• Fuel Filter: Inspect and clean the fuel filter periodically.
• Pump Casing: After each use, especially when pumping dirty water, flush the pump casing with clean water to remove any debris.
• Storage: For long-term storage, drain all fuel from the tank and carburetor. Remove the spark plug and pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder, then pull the starter cord a few times to distribute the oil.
